Cerium(IV) fluoride is aninorganic compound with achemical formula CeF4. It is a strong oxidant that appears as a white crystalline material. Cerium(IV) fluoride has an anhydrous form and a monohydrate form.[2]
Cerium(IV) fluoride can be produced by fluorinatingcerium(III) fluoride orcerium dioxide with fluorine gas at 500 °C[3]
Its hydrated form (CeF4·xH2O, x≤1) can be produced by reacting 40%hydrofluoric acid andcerium(IV) sulfate solution at 90°C.[4]
Cerium(IV) fluoride can dissolve inDMSO, and react to form the coordination complex [CeF4(DMSO)2].[4]
